EZbase, is a fully deodexed and zipaligned pre rooted odin / heimdall image for people wanting to move from stock ROM's to custom ROM's. It used by a lot of people for a recovery image if it all goes wrong, simply flash this and you on a stock Samsung image with root and 2e recovery.
Still testing the new recovery & kernel so attached is a copy of EZbase with stock CWM Recovery, until the new recovery has been 100% tested!

This is a Step by Step guide how to flash EZbase to your Samsung Galaxy S.
There are lots of different ways to flash ROMs to your Samsung Galaxy S, Personally I use heimdall but thats because I use *nix. I find this one to be easiest and fastest for windows users.
If you complete this guide there the worlds your oyster, simply copy different mods/ROMs to the SD Card and flash directly from there going back to your base at any time should you need to revert back.
If you have any issues what so ever, the best place to begin is a clean EZbase flash.
NOTE: No root or anything is required, you can simply do this on a stock Samsung ROM.

Android Debug Bridge (a.k.a. adb) - http://nfye.eu/EZbase/i9000/adb.zip
Download all the EZOdin, EZbase CSC, PDA, PHONE and PIT if you do not have Samsung Kies installed, The Samsung USB Drivers will be required to. For simplicity sake place all the files into a single directory e.g. c:\toolkit\ however they can be placed where you like, hopefully in the future I might get all the requirements into an installer.
If you do not have Samsung Kies installed please install the Samsung USB Drivers and make sure your device is recognised by the OS. Once all the pre requisites have been fulfilled, then please continue to Step One or Step Two. If Samsung Kies is used please make sure you kill all Samsung Kies related services that are running (kies, tray agent, etc.)
Check that your phone has sufficient power, unplug your phone if it is plugged into USB or wall charger. Type *#0228# in to the dialler and check Voltage is at least 3800(mV).

Great stuff - used EZBase earlier before flashing Insanity 0.6.6.
Like rixsta will use this method before future Rom flashes

Is this EZOdin safe/tested?
How is it different than the original (besides the UI, ofc)?

It was ready a while back, we was about to do it and then a new firware came out and it got put on the back burner
My phone was on 6.6 but as it needed testing I redid it as per the written instructions just so we knew it worked 100%
IF people follow the guide then they SHOULD get a 100% working insanity rom with no hassle.. (we live in hope )

Thanks for this, it's a nice initiative. I've been doing the same, just with different files from samfirmwares + I've needed to install a kernel to get easy access to root + cwm so this lets me skip that part
One thing though, you might want to either put this in your guide, or alternatively modify the app, but that Odin you have is version 1.7.. which has given me trouble (Windows 7, 32bit) in the past. Odin 1.82 works fine so just as a tip for people who might have problems getting odin to work
Aside from that this is a great idea!

odin either not connecting or just standing there doing nothing, never found out why but after using 1.82 its worked fine so I never felt like going back
and your files work with the standard odin anyway so it's not a big deal

Hello folks!
It's been a while since last time I spent in this forum section (when the method for flashing Poland MM KDZ was published), but suddenly I decided to check the current development and it was great do discover that developers found a way to unlock bootloader! Then, I tried to do the procedures, found some adversities around the path, flashed stock KDZ for my device A LOT and finally managed to obtain a fully working LP stock with root and TWRP for my model: H442F (Dual SIM) ("LG Volt 4G" in Brazil).
The thing is: although a lot was done regarding the Spirit LTE, I found near zero information specifically for my device variant. Since I tried a lot of paths and eventually achieved an interesting result, I decided to write a full tutorial, with a lot of instructions and pictures for "novices" who desire learn all the steps but gives up at the high learning curve. Finally, I also wrote this tutorial in Brazilian Portuguese, which I believe will help at least some comrades (you can download the PDF in portuguese HERE).
Needed files:
LG Drivers (remove old ones if already instaled)
LG Flash Tool 2014 (credits to @quangnhut123 from this thread)
Brazilian H442F10a Firmware (this is a low speed server, I can upload to a better one if someone asks)
Android SDK Tools (for Windows users; Linux ones just install the package android-tools-adb)
Kingroot (or download here: www.kingroot.net)
Latin America Patched Aboot (credits to @pvineeth97 , for more info check this thread)
TWRP (or download here: https://twrp.me/lg/lgspiritlte.html)
Flashfy (or download here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify&hl=en)
SuperSU (or download here: http://www.supersu.com/)
Finally, if you prefer, you can download a full pack in this link (except for KDZ), however, I did prefer to keep isolated links for better credits and referrals
Step-by-step
Download all needed files
Install drivers, SDK and unpack Flash Tool
Save all files in the same folder, but keep KDZ file inside Flash Tool folder
Put your phone in download mode (power off, hold vol+, plug usb in pc, keep holding until download icon appears)
Wait a little for Windows completely detects device and load all drivers
Verify in Device Manager if your pc detects phone as "LG Mobile USB Serial Port (COM#)"

Open LG Flash Tool as admin
Select KDZ file
Choose the downloaded H442F10a_03.kdz file
Choose CSE Flash
Click START
Then, "Clear phone software update registry"
You'll see a warning
Then, OK (no need to change country)
Another app will open for the flashing. If you are offline, it is possible to show just a "?" character. Wait patiently...
In about 5min it will finish
After some reboots, you'll see the phone starter screen. Just move forward (no need to configure anything right now, maybe wifi, but not google account)
Enable Developer Options going to Settings/General/Common/Software Information and tap some simes in Build Number until the "You are a developer" message appears
Go back to Settings/Developer Options and turn on USB Debugging
With Debugging on, choose MTP (for Windows) or PTP (Linux), and when asked, allow the computer
Now, make sure you installed (and know how to use, since I will cover just a few commands here) the Android Debugging Bridge (adb). It will be essential for some steps, as well for entering Recovery Mode (I will show some Linux screenshots because I do not use Windows - for this tutorial, just for KDZ flash - but with a working adb the commands are the same)
Open a command prompt (Windows: right click in start menu) or a terminal (Linux) and run "adb devices" to see if the device was detected. If not, run again and check if phone are asking permissions (and grant it)
Go (cd) to the folder with all downloaded files and write the commands (some names may be different if you downloaded individual files from official links)
adb push aboot_5120_patched.bin /sdcard/
adb push twrp-3.2.1.0-cn70n.img /sdcard/
adb push SuperSU-v2.82-201705271722.zip /sdcard/
adb install Flashify_1.9.2.apk
adb install KingrootV5.3.1.apk
At whit point, make sure your internet is fully working (3-4G or WIfi), then, open Kingroot and root the device
After a well successful root, go back to adb and run "adb shell" and then "su". The phone will ask root permission. Grant it and in adb again run "cd /sdcard"
Now we arrived a critical step. Make sure to type the command as is show, because an error may result brick. We will copy the modified aboot into the respective phone partition (check code, check picture, and double check!)
If everything occurs all right, will appear this message
Great! Now you have an unlocked bootloader! What we have to do now is fhash a custom recovery (in this case, TWRP).
Open Flashify, give root rights, then go into Flash/Recovery Image/Choose a file/File explorer/sdcard/[downloaded file]. When asked to flash click "YUP!" and then "Flash More" (as we do not want the phone to reboot right now)
An extra step I prefer to do is remove Kingroot, since it installs a lot of services and keep device substantially slow. If you prefer Kingroot over SuperSU, you are DONE!
Case you prefer SuperSU... Open Kingroot/.../Settings/Uninstall Kingroot
It will prompt if you are sure. Just click Continue/OK
Go back to prompt/terminal and run "adb reboot recovery"
Phone will enter TWRP!
Now, just a few steps!
Go to Install and flash SuperSU
Go to Wipe and do a Factory Reset
Go to Settings and disable TWRP app installer (optional)
And finally go to Reboot and choose System
DONE!!!
Now you have a phone with an unlocked bootloader, a recovery capable of doing a lot of stuff (sideload, wipe cache, backups), and rooted as well.
A really good job, I'm sure a lot of your fellow countryman will find this very useful!

Thanks for the instructions. After unlocking its bootloader, wil it be compatible with any H440 custom rom (single sim operation, of course)? Or the only custom rom we get is Cm12?

Hi!
Well, unfortunately I don't know. I made the procedure, wrote the tutorial, and 2 months later changed my phone for a new one. Can't test anymore.

Yes, it should be compatible with any custom rom as long as your phone is Lg spirit LTE( snapdragon variant ).
Overview
Many people asked me on telegram how they can unlock their bootloader and flash TWRP, as obvious I helped them but then again few people asked me... I was wondering telling entire steps again and again will waste a lot of time so I decided why not on xda-developers?
So here it is presenting a "Noob way to unlock boot-loader, flash recovery" :laugh:

Downloads1. ADB Driver 1
2. ADB Driver 2
3. Windows 10 Updater
4. ADB Toolkit
5. TWRP
InstallationsNow it's not hard but still like a manual, I have added this. To install the drivers first and most important is to update Windows to its latest release. Extract .rar/.zip files downloaded from the above download section and go to the ADB Driver 1 & 2 folder and look if there is an executable file like .exe/.bat if yes then run it as admin and all set if there isn't then you may see a setup information well simple look for a file ends with .inf extension. If you find such a file then simply open device manager and click on your PC name for e.g my PC name is MINIX and then click on action tab select add hardware legacy --> Next --> Search and install automatically --> Next --> Show all --> Next --> Have Disk --> Browse and then go to the folder where the .inf/setup information file is located click on it --> Next and then it may pop up something like driver signature verification failed for it just move HERE All set ! But I would suggest to do a windows update check again for proper installing of drivers and then restart.
ProcessNow it's not rocket science! Let's begin!
* Update your phone to latest firmware S232 (Necessary)
* Open ADB Folder
* Copy Downloaded TWRP to ADB folder
* Rename TWRP image to recovery.img
* Move to your mobile turn on USB debugging and OEM unlocking (These options are there in developer option)
* Connect USB (Will pop up some prompt, allow for this pc if still not then revoke USB permission and check back! )
* Run .bat file called as unlock_recovery.bat
----------(Your Phone will reboot into fast boot mode and will start Unlocking process just hit volume up key on your phone when you see a prompt written in small letters)---------
* Now open the cmd/PowerShell in ADB folder itself for that hold shift key and right click will see a prompt with PowerShell/cmd click on that if still confused the go-to address bar and type cmd there. That's its!
* Type the commands one by one has listed :
Code:
fastboot devices
fast boot flash recovery
Now its important that you reboot into recovery for the first time just after recovery flash or else you will need to do entire process again … Now to boot into recovery you will have to hold power key & both volume keys at a time until you see Lenovo logo, then release the power key and volume keys. After the TWRP logo, it will take some time! So wait, but if not boot into recovery do all the process again !
Cheers :good: you have successfully installed TWRP now ! If still not then don't worry drop a replay below so that we can assist you I don't want to make money from this so no donations but still if you want to appreciate my work just hit the small button of :good: That's more than enough for me
Q/A
Q.1 My TWRP is removed after I booted back into the system, now what can I do?
A.1 Well, This is a normal thing caused due to a backup made by system of stock recover and you will have to delete it in order to fully use TWRP for that process is simple to download Aroma File Manager Flash this zip into TWRP recovery and you will see a file manager locate to system folder and in that look for a file called as recovery-from-boot.p and delete this file only /-
Q.2 My device is rebooting into TWRP only, what to do?
A.2 Now answer is not that simple you will have to download the stock ROM and flash it via SP Flash Tool that's the only option. We are looking into the issue and will find the resolution ASAP.

Hello everyone I need a favor from a person who has unlocked bootloader can you help
---------- Post added at 04:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 AM ----------
I need some files from you pls please please please please
Disclaim
All steps described here have been many times tested and proved to be safe but, you may know that sometimes in life unexpected things happen. I'm not responsible for any damage in your devices, do things at your own risk.
Introduction
Thanks to xda user @alexeei we can install almost every Z6 Pro stock ROMs using the Fastboot Mode. You always should check the package content and the installation script(s) to be sure that you know exactly what is gonna be installed. You can find all the ROMs listed and linked in this index.
Let's go with the guide.
0. Pre-requirements
- The Bootloader must be unlocked.
- Lenovo drivers installed in your computer. You can download them here . Thanks @benjieb
1. Download and extract the ROM
You cand find many of them here. Extract the downloaded file and a folder will be created with these contents:
- All the files required for the installation in Fastboot Mode.
- The ROM files.
- The .bat file(s) which contain(s) all the actions that will be performed during the installation.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You always should check the content of the .bat file(s). Read post #2 to get more info about this.
2. Reboot your device in Fastboot Mode
Shut down your device and boot it holding pressed both Volume Down + Power buttons until the Fastboot Mode menu appears. You can navigate in the Fastboot Mode menu with volume buttons to choose the options and the Power button to confirm, but at this point you don't need to do any action in this menu.
3. Connect the device to the computer with USB cable
4. Execute the .bat file
Just execute the .bat file with a double click and a CMD window will be opened and the installation will start. Only a few lines will appear at the beginning and then nothing will happen, it will seem to be stopped but actually it's not, just be patient because this screen could last around ten minutes. So despite of the 'Invalid sparse file format at header magic", keep the faith and don't do anything but wait.
The device will reboot once the installation is done.
5. Errors in the log. No voice in calls.
Some errors may appear in the CMD window during the installation, this is because some partitions are 'critical' and we're not allowed to modify them via fastboot. Usually this is not a problem because these "small partitions" don't prevent the new ROM to work normally, except if you're installing Android 10 from Android 9. If you change Android version with this method you will find that your micro doesn't work in calls. You can fix it installing these "small partitions" from TWRP.
Any correction, info or advise about this post will be very welcome.
About the .bat file(s):
You always should check the content of these files before doing any installation, specially with recent fastboot installers including several .bat files for diferent uses. Just open the .bat file with right click and select Edit to view the actions included in the file.
None of Alexei's fastboot installers have never included any command to erase Data, but I'd say it's mandatory to check twice the .bat file to be sure that you're not going to affect an undesired partition. In case e.g. the .bat file includes the line 'fastboot flash system system.img' but you don't want System partition to be installed, just delete this line from the file and Save before closing it.
Maybe you want to edit the file to include in the batch any other thing, a custom recovery for instance. Just drop your custom recovery file in the rom folder (the fastboot installer folder) and make sure that the line in the .bat file regarding the recovery matchs with your recovery file name.
Also you can notice that recent fastboot installers include more than one .bat file. They are named in a descriptive way like "UpdateZUI.bat" or "UpsateAOSP", but you should check them anyways. Let's say you're using any of the Q aosp-based custom ROMs (they include Boot and System partitions) and you want to update the vendor and/or the firmware. You should check the .bat files to find which of them suits better with your needs.

It depends on the rom package. The packages made to be installed using fastboot are usually very similar, but you should check the .bat files. I could take a look if you provide a link.

Hi, yesterday I bricked my Galaxy A10s by flashing a custom recovery by Odin (The phone doesn't enter in Download or recovery modes, it just does nothing):

I found something new for me, the phone is actually working, used odin, and another firmware after the bypass utility, and worked. But the phone screen keeps black. Like no even the samsung logo shows up, everything else works, it boots, recovery and download mode (i know because vibration, and the Google talkback sounds and can be turned on and off). I'm pretty sure is a firmware issue because when i started 7 hour ago, it was working well. Thanks a lot for this thread. Now i need to figure how to fix the BSoD :/
I've done this over +50 times already on other phones at work*
btw sorry, my english ain't that good.*

Thanks a lot for the guide! It worked on my SM-A107M, which went dead after flashing it with Magisk and updating the app. Can't apply any Android updates due to the phone detecting that it was modified but I assume this can be fixed by flashing the stock ROM. Thanks again!.

its easy, here is what I did. Uncheck the one that is giving you the mismatch, next do again the steps from pyton code python main.py to disable security and flash the rest. after its complete force restart the phone and it will enter dw mode. flash your a10s stock firmware and your are good to go.
PD. if you get read pit error, extract A10S_LTN_OPEN_PRODUCT600M file from csc file using winrar and choose the pit file flash and you are done.
Hi! I'm having a similar problem. I tried to implement TWRP recovery on my a10s and since that it isn't working. It is recognizing as a modem im my computer, for some reason. I triend changing the driver for the Mediatek Preloader VCOM COM7 and try your tutorial but didn't make anything different. When i run the powershell on bypass utility it just waits for the device over and over.
My a10s doesn't react to any combination of vol. button and power button and i don't know what to do.
If anyone wants to know the procedure i did to make my a10s dead, i can explain in details what happened.
Thanks for reading!
Hi, thank you very much for the guide but in my case:
now working even in false.
